Lena Dunham Jokes about Aborting Royal Baby

Some joke.

What’s with the feminist left and abortion humor these days?  First there was a film billed as an “abortion romantic comedy,” then the assertion that abortion is the “perfect topic” for sitcoms. Now comes Lena Dunham with a tasteless tweet. 

The “Girls” star found an inventive way to celebrate the news of the Duchess of Cambridge’s pregnancy with baby number two. “Kate Middleton is pregnant! Will she keep it?” Dunham joked on Twitter Sept. 9.

 

A staunch abortion advocate, Dunham loves inserting abortion into her media projects, including:

Just this morning, Sept 10, ABC’s “Good Morning America” Anchor Lara Spencer recognized Lena Dunham as “not a girl, but a goddess.” Anchor Robin Roberts later explained how, “She's been transferred into a neoclassical statue for the cover of The New York Times’ annual culture issue.”
